[Ultrasonography and Doppler effect, an original method for the early and dynamic evaluation of bone callus].
The authors describe an original and simple method for monitoring bone healing, based upon ultrasonography and the Doppler effect. They present four cases of diaphyseal fractures followed by this method and correlated with clinical findings. This noninvasive and inexpensive method of investigation is full of prospect for the monitoring of bone healing after fracture.
